Gabriel Luna Reveals Secrets Behind Tommy’s Epic Sniping Scene in The Last of Us!

by

Fans of “The Last of Us” recognize that Tommy stands out among other characters due to his unique sniper rifle. In “The Last of Us Part II,” Tommy uses this signature weapon in a teaching moment with Ellie, but later, it becomes a crucial element in a more intense scenario when he attempts to track down others using his long-range abilities. When asked by ComicBook about whether that scene involving Tommy’s sniper rifle would appear in the upcoming season of “The Last of Us,” actor Gabriel Luna responded: “You can anticipate everything you desire, and we’ll provide what’s necessary.

Later on, Luna shared details about his weapon training for the show, mentioning that he drew upon elements from a well-loved franchise to effectively execute it.

Previously, I underwent weapons training with Jack Nevils. He’s not only an expert who trains Army snipers but also served as our military advisor on the movie “Terminator: Dark Fate.” This means I got to learn from him and utilize his expertise. He’s a valuable friend and a treasure trove of knowledge, so I always try to absorb as much as I can from his experiences… We frequented the shooting range quite often, just to make sure everyone was well-prepared. Our armory team were thrilled with my skill set that I brought along. They handed me a flamethrower, and we practiced for about four minutes before they said, “Yeah, Gabe’s good.” I responded, “Are you positive, mate? Perhaps we should have a more extensive session.

Although the crucial scene involving Tommy’s sniper rifle might be missing from the second season of HBO’s The Last of Us, gamers can rest assured that the series is in capable hands. Showrunner Craig Mazin, who has a history with the franchise and has played through the games numerous times, confirmed this.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve replayed the first game at least four or five times, and the second game, at least thrice. Given its length, it’s a game I often find myself immersed in for extended periods. Yet, there are parts where I don’t just play through; instead, I seek out playthrough videos to relive those moments and understand their workings better. In addition to this, I frequently revisit transcripts of the games to refresh my memory and deepen my understanding.

If the scene in Season 2 of The Last of Us series where Tommy uses his sniper rifle isn’t included, it wouldn’t be entirely unexpected. The creators of the show had previously indicated that adapting a story as expansive as The Last of Us Part II would necessitate more than one season. Therefore, if this scene doesn’t appear in 2021, a possible third season could be where it is shown.

The Last of Us Season 2 premieres on HBO and MAX on April 13th
